Many many thanks to all of you who took the time to complete the Survey that was circulated with the newsletter earlier this month.

Many of the comments received form respondents liked safaris that provided access to places that are not normally open to the public or access before it opens to the public.
And, of course, more nature-oriented/outdoor offerings were requested. Based on these results, new safaris are “in the works”…Please be patient – it takes time to scout new locations and plan these safaris!
The safaris will be announced using the WPS social media channels as they are posted on the website.
